Moscow Court orders immediate block of Telegram messaging app

A Moscow court cleared the way for the government to ban Telegram, the messaging app, over its failure to give Russian security services the ability to read users’ encrypted messages, ordered that the Ban could take effect immediately.

Almost 10 million Russians may soon lose access to Telegram.

The court order follows months of battles between the messenger apps Telegram & Roskomnadzor, (Russia’s telecommunications watchdog). Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) wants to access user data from Telegram through the sharing of encryption keys, but Telegram has refused to comply even after a court ruling. Russian news agency Tass reported that the messaging service will be “blocked immediately” following the latest order from court, and that the ban will be in place until Telegram app provides decryption keys to the Russia’s Federal Security Service. It’s not clear how immediate the ban will be, though. The Financial Times reports that the ban will likely take place once Telegram has appealed over the next month.Moscow Court's Ruling order is very powerful this time that it intimates to ban immediately the Telegram App in the country Russia.
